Lake Freighter Minis is a kit that fills the void for a Great Lakes freighter model in today's market!< They are colored and laser printed on 100-pound cover stock paper. These Great Lakes freighter models, created by Bob May, are extremely durable, detailed, and fun to build. As these kits are not for the novice, hobby shops have rated the model kits a 3.5 out of 5 for difficulty. The laser printed parts are ready to be cut out and glued right out of the package! Illustrated instructions help the hobbyist along the way. Four other 1,000 footers followed the McCarthy design.
